SANKYO AMERICA, INC.
Automotive Plastics and Material Management
serving global customers and manufacturers since 1987
In June 1987, Sankyo America, Inc. was established at 2625 N. Meridian Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, with Mr. Imai as President. Sankyo America's purpose was to serve Aisin and develop business with Japanese transplants and to build a relationship with suppliers in North America.
With increased sales and a need for shipments, Sankyo soon moved to a new location with warehouse availability and began to acquire the knowledge to suit these new progressions. Throughout the next four years, additional employees were added to the company and by 1993 sales reached $5.3 million. With another move in 1995, the warehouse was expanded drastically and sales quickly exceeded $10 million. Thus began a series of events of expansion to accommodate this new sales growth.
